Lunar Dreams

Album Introduction | Lunar Dreams What is this album? Lunar Dreams is Luna Amaris’s debut solo album, resembling a warm nighttime diary that captures her daily life running a bookstore in a small fjord town in Norway. The ten songs in the album are like pages from her journal, written in the quiet of the night, documenting her small life stories and inner emotions. Her music is soft and gentle, blending guitar, the sound of waves, and a hint of coffee aroma, inviting you to sit by the window in her bookstore, share a cup of hot tea, and listen to her talk about the little things in life. Who is Luna? Luna Amaris is a 24-year-old Japanese-Norwegian mixed-race girl with short dark brown hair and eyes that carry a faint purple hue, exuding a gentle and intellectual aura. She runs the Fjord Bookhouse in a small fjord town in Norway, a bookstore that is not just a place to sell books but also a cozy space for her to connect with customers and draw inspiration. She enjoys bustling around the bookstore’s coffee corner, casually chatting about book plots, and loves to run to the beach in the evenings, walking barefoot on the sand, watching the tides come and go. Her musical inspiration comes from these everyday moments, scattered like stars in her songs. How did the album come about? One evening, after the bookstore closed, Luna climbed up to the attic, made a cup of tea, and sat by the window looking at the moon. In that moment, she felt a bit lonely yet content, so she picked up her guitar and strummed a few notes. That’s how this album began—from her daily bookstore routines, beach walks, to occasional moments of daydreaming in the forest. She turned these fragments into songs, as if saying to you, “Hey, this is what happened to me yesterday—have you ever felt the same?” Let’s talk about a few songs •Nebula’s Secret “Today, I found an old poetry book on the shelf, and it felt like discovering a secret.” One day, while organizing the bookshelves, Luna came across an old poetry book describing nebulae. She felt it was like the stories in the bookstore—beautiful yet tinged with regret. So, she wrote this song, sharing the small emotions she felt while flipping through the book. •The Moon’s Keeper “The moon is so bright; the old fisherman said it guards the sea, and I want to guard something too.” Once, by the seaside, Luna heard an old fisherman tell a myth about the moon and the sea. She wrote it down when she got home. The line “How do I keep her?” is what she thought as she watched the tide recede. •Silent Meteors “Today, I heard a sad story and wanted to comfort him with a song, and also comfort myself.” This song came from a conversation at the bookstore’s coffee corner, where a customer shared the pain of losing a loved one. After listening, Luna quietly wrote this song, as if using music to gently embrace the customer and herself. •Starwoven Dreams “Chatting with a traveler all night by the fireplace in a rural cabin felt like a dream.” By the fireplace in a rural cabin, Luna chatted with a traveler all night. She felt the warmth of that night was like a dream, so she wrote this song, making you feel like she’s holding your hand and saying, “Come, I’ll take you to see the stars.” •Lullaby for a Star “The children’s laughter was so cute; I wrote this lullaby when I got home.” The bookstore held a children’s reading session, and the children’s laughter made Luna very happy. When she got home, she wrote this lullaby, as gentle as if she were lulling everyone who listens to sleep. What is it like to listen to this album? Listening to Lunar Dreams is like opening Luna’s diary, with each song being a page that records her daily life and inner world. You’ll hear the aroma of coffee from the bookstore, the sound of the tides by the sea, and her humming in the attic. Her voice is soft, as comfortable as the sea breeze, and the lyrics hide her life—sometimes lonely, sometimes happy, always genuine. The album is like her handing you her diary, smiling and saying, “This is my day—how about yours?” Why is this album special? •Friendly like a friend: Luna’s songs are straightforward, just like her sitting across from you, chatting. •Fragments of life: Each song is connected to her daily life, like the coffee aroma in the bookstore, the sound of the tides by the sea, and her little stories with customers. •Warm emotions: She sings her joys and sorrows, as if saying, “I’ve had moments like this too—have you?” Luna wants to tell you “This album is a small puzzle of my life, including my little secrets. I hope that when you listen, you can find a bit of warmth that belongs to you, like when I make you a cup of tea in the bookstore.” 專輯介紹｜《Lunar Dreams》 這張專輯是什麼？ 《Lunar Dreams》是Luna Amaris的首張個人專輯，像是一本溫暖的夜間生活日記，記錄了她在挪威峽灣小鎮經營書店的日常點滴。專輯中的十首歌，是她在夜晚打開日記本，寫下的生活小故事和內心情感。她的音樂輕輕柔柔，帶著吉他聲、海浪聲和一點點咖啡香，像是邀請你坐在她書店的窗邊，一起喝杯熱茶，聽她聊聊生活裡的小事。 Luna是誰？ Luna Amaris是個24歲的日挪混血女孩，留著深棕色短髮，眼睛帶著淡淡的紫色，溫柔中透著知性。她在挪威一座峽灣小鎮經營「峽灣書屋」，這間書店不僅是賣書的地方，更是她與客人交流、汲取靈感的小天地。她喜歡在書店的咖啡角忙碌，順便聊聊書中的情節；也愛在傍晚跑到海邊，赤腳踩著沙子，看潮水來來去去。她的音樂靈感就來自這些日常片段，像星星一樣散落在她的歌聲中。 專輯怎麼來的？ 有一天晚上，書店打烊後，Luna爬上閣樓，泡了杯茶，坐在窗邊看著月亮。那一刻，她覺得有點孤單，又有點幸福，就隨手拿起吉他，彈出幾個音符。這張專輯就這樣開始了——從她的書店日常、海邊散步，到偶爾在森林裡發呆的時光。她把這些片段寫成歌，像是在跟你說：「嘿，這是我昨天遇到的事，你有沒有也這樣想過？」 聊聊幾首歌 •《Nebula’s Secret》「今天在書架上找到一本舊詩集，感覺像發現了秘密。」 有天Luna在書店整理書架，翻到一本舊詩集，裡面寫著星雲的模樣。她覺得那就像書店裡的故事，美好又帶點遺憾。於是她寫了這首歌，像在跟你分享她翻書時的小感動。 •《The Moon’s Keeper》「月亮好亮，老漁夫說它守著海，我也想守著什麼。」 Luna有次在海邊聽老漁夫講了一個關於月亮和海的神話，她回家後忍不住寫下來。歌裡那句「How do I keep her?」是她看著潮水退去時的心裡話。 •《Silent Meteors》「今天聽到一個難過的故事，想用歌安慰他，也安慰自己。」 這首歌來自書店咖啡角的一次聊天。一位客人跟Luna說起失去親人的痛，她聽完靜靜地寫了這首歌，像是在用音樂輕輕抱抱那個客人，也抱抱自己。 •《Starwoven Dreams》「在鄉間小木屋和旅人聊了一整晚，感覺像個夢。」 在鄉間小木屋的壁爐旁，Luna和一個旅人聊了整整一晚。她覺得那晚的溫暖像個夢，就寫了這首歌，聽著像她拉著你的手說：「來，我帶你去看星星。」 •《Lullaby for a Star》「小孩的笑聲好可愛，回家後就寫了這首搖籃曲。」 書店辦了一次小孩讀書會，那些孩子的笑聲讓Luna好開心。她回家後寫了這首搖籃曲，像在哄每個聽歌的人入睡一樣溫柔。 聽這張專輯像什麼？ 聽《Lunar Dreams》，就像翻開Luna的日記本，每首歌都是一頁，記錄著她的生活小事與內心世界。你會聽到書店的咖啡香、海邊的潮水聲，還有她在閣樓哼唱的旋律。她的聲音很輕，像海風一樣舒服，歌詞裡藏著她的生活——有時孤單，有時開心，總是很真。專輯就像她把自己的日記遞給你，笑著說：「這是我的一天，你呢？」 為什麼這張專輯特別？ •像朋友一樣親切：Luna的歌不耍花招，就是她坐在你對面，跟你聊天的感覺。 •生活的小碎片：每一首歌都跟她的日常連繫在一起，像書店的咖啡香、海邊的潮水聲，還有她和客人的小故事。 •暖暖的情感：她把自己的喜怒哀樂唱出來，像在說「我也有過這樣的時刻，你有沒有？」 Luna想跟你說 「這張專輯是我生活的小拼圖，也有我心裡的小秘密。希望你聽的時候，能找到一點屬於你的溫暖，像我在書店泡杯茶給你一樣。」
